  • the melting process is most often carried out batchwise: the materials are loaded into the furnace, in one or more successive cycles before casting the molten metal to its place of use.
  • the molten metal must have a temperature of about 740 ° C. Above 750 ° C, the oxidation rate of the molten aluminum increases considerably, almost exponentially.
  • the initial period can be distinguished first, when the materials are solid, which allows the absorption of a large amount of heat, the melting of the aluminum occurring at about 660 ° vs.
  • This slag or filth contains a quantity of lost or oxidized metal, also called “losses on fire", which represents a significant loss of material for the aluminum producer and which should be minimized in order to increase the profitability of the product. fusion process. To reduce this oxidation, it is It has been known to maintain the temperature of the molten aluminum bath at less than about 750 ° C. But this method remains empirical because hot spots can appear on the surface generating localized oxidation.
  • the document JP 60121235 proposes to use the measurement of CO and H2 contents in the flue gas to ensure that, on a non-ferrous metal smelting furnace, the installed burners operate in substoichiometric mode within a range of values of the ratio the oxidant flow rate at the fuel flow rate of 95 to 100%, a portion of the fuel not being consumed.
  • the document EP 962,540 discloses a combustion process for melting a metal in a furnace, wherein an oxygen-rich gas is fed into the furnace over the flame of a burner in contact with the liquid metal.
  • the burner operates under substoichiometry, produces a reducing flame that shields between the oxygen-rich gas and the surface of the molten metal.
  • the method according to the invention solves the problem and reduces the formation of aluminum oxides.
  • the oxidizer which supplies at least one burner comprises more than 10% vol. oxygen, preferably at least 21% vol. O 2 . and in that the process comprises a final phase for reducing the oxidation of aluminum in the course of which the oxidant flow rate is substantially constant while the flow rate of fuel injected into at least one burner is a function of the concentration of monoxide carbon and / or hydrogen in the atmosphere or fumes, or vice versa (ie the fuel flow rate is substantially constant and the oxidant flow rate is a function of the concentration of CO and / or H 2 within the same limits as those defined below), this concentration of carbon monoxide and / or hydrogen being between 3% vol. and 15% vol. (vice versa means the possibility that the fuel flow rate is constant and the oxidant flow rate is a function of the concentration of CO and / or H 2 ).
  • the oxidant comprises more than 88% vol. in O 2 , preferably more than 95% vol. in O 2 . More preferably the oxidant is industrially pure oxygen.
  • the fuel may be any hydrocarbon or a light or heavy fuel oil (with a suitable oil spraying system in the burner): preferably natural gas, methane, propane, etc. are used. fuel is maintained between 1 and 5, preferably between 1.5 and 3.
  • the concentration of CO and / or H 2 is kept substantially constant throughout this oxidation reduction phase at a value of between 6% and 10% vol. (The set value C2 during this final phase will therefore preferably be set to a value within this range).
  • the oxidation reduction phase is preceded by a VOC combustion phase during which substantially all the organic products present in the material are destroyed by pyrolysis, followed optionally (but not necessarily) by a stabilization phase.
  • the VOC combustion phase ends when the value of the ratio R of the volumetric flow rates respectively of oxygen contained in the oxidant and fuel during this phase, becomes less than a threshold value S, defined below.
  • a threshold value S defined below.
  • the conditions of this hydrocarbon combustion phase will be maintained for a period ⁇ t (between 5% and 20% of the hydrocarbon combustion phase considered) so as to confirm the passing a value of R ⁇ S, before entering the second phase by changing the set value (which goes from a value C1 to a value C2) of the CO measured in the furnace or fumes, (taking into account the possible fluctuations in CO concentration variations, as exemplified on the Fig. 2 , for example).
  • This phase of duration ⁇ t will be called hereinafter detection phase
  • the process will comprise two phases (which can be repeated several times before the casting of the liquid aluminum) optionally separated by a generally short detection phase, to ensure that the destruction of organic products is complete.
  • the concentration of CO in the furnace atmosphere and / or flue gas will be between 0.1% vol and 5% vol (C1 setpoint).
  • the lower limit is in fact determined such that there is at most 1000 ppm of oxygen in the fumes (or atmosphere).
  • the concentration of CO and / or H 2 is above the set value C1 chosen above. Conversely, during the final phase, the concentration of H 2 and / or CO (in the absence of application of the invention) is less than the set value C2, and one of the aims of the invention is to increase this concentration.
  • a regulation is carried out directly on a value C2, between 3% and 15% vol. CO value, value C2 greater than the concentration of CO in the same furnace with the same charge, in the absence of regulation on a set value by CO and / or H 2 .
  • the oxidation reduction phase of the aluminum is completed by reintroduction into the furnace of a new charge of material containing aluminum, or by the casting of liquid aluminum towards its point of use.
  • the material containing aluminum in the context of the invention may be in particular, for example aluminum bullion, chips for turning aluminum parts, boxes of drinks, canned goods, scrap, falls of production, dross, slag containing aluminum, and in general any material containing aluminum.
  • the invention also applies to temperature maintenance furnaces of liquid aluminum.
  • the figure 1 is a schematic view of an oven 1 (seen in section) and the control system according to the invention.
  • a burner 10 creates a flame 2 which heats and melts the metal 3, in liquid form.
  • the flue gases 4 from the furnace 1 and resulting from the combustion, in particular from the burner, are discharged via the duct 18, in which are placed detectors 5 and 6 (known per se) of CO and / or H 2, respectively, making it possible to measure the concentration of CO and / or H 2 in said fumes.
  • the signal from each of the detectors 5 and 6 is transmitted via the connection line to a control unit 8 whose operation will be explained below.
  • the burner 10 is fed respectively with oxidant 13 and fuel 14 by means of controlled valves (mass flowmeters, for example) respectively 12 and 11 for delivering a suitable flow rate of oxidant and fuel to the burner.
  • the control device 8 is controlled by the control device 8, via the connection line 15.
  • the connection lines 17 and 16 transmit the measurement of the opening of the valves 12 and 11 to the control system 8, which also receives a temperature information of the molten metal 3 via a sensor.
  • the control system 8 includes a setting of the CO (and / or H 2 ) concentration setpoint, which can be modified as a function of time, in particular to go from the value C1 to the value C2.
  • this Depending on whether the measurement of the concentration of CO and / or H 2 transmitted by the sensors 5 and / or 6 to the control device 8 is greater or less than said set point, this generates a control signal via the connection 15 to the controlled valves 12 and 11 which regulate the injection of the oxidant 13 and the fuel 14 to obtain a reduction or an increase in the concentration of carbon monoxide and / or hydrogen in the fumes.
  • the typical variations of the ratio R (the oxidant flow rate or preferably the fuel flow rate is kept constant) and those of the concentration of CO and / or H 2 in the flue gases in the context of the two-phase management of the fuel cycle are shown. merger previously described.
  • the regulator increases the value of the ratio R in order to supply the oxidizer in excess to burn the VOCs.
  • the production of VOC by the charge and their combustion reaches a maximum then decreases to become zero at the end of phase I.
  • the ratio R follows this trend by passing through a maximum, denoted R_MAX before decreasing in phase I.
  • R_MAX a maximum
  • the ratio R necessarily and definitely crosses the threshold S, defined previously, before reaching a minimum, denoted R_MIN.
  • the ratio R reaches the threshold S, there remains indeed a small amount of VOC in the load which generates a level of CO and / or H 2 below the set point C1.
  • the regulator controls the ratio R by decreasing it further (production of CO and / or H 2 by the burner), in order to compensate the difference with respect to this set point C1. All VOCs are burned when the ratio reaches R_MIN. It is then time to change the control strategy because phase II begins.
  • the regulator controls the ratio R by increasing it (reduction of the production of CO and / or H 2 by the burner), in order to compensate for the deviation from this set point C2.
  • the setpoint is then reduced to the value C1 defined above.
  • the end of phase II is therefore the time t4.
  • the indicator according to the invention controls the phase change in the middle of the melting at time t2 because the first charge consists of drink cans coated with paint, so heavily loaded with organic compounds.
  • the indicator controls the phase change in T 2 shortly after the beginning of the phase, thus optimizing the start the control strategy adapted to phase II.
